Galaxy F Foldable Phone Price Tip Nuts, Release Window Narrowed

This morning a report from South Korea tipped several key details for the Samsung Galaxy F, the company's first foldable display-toting smartphone. The device seems to have been confirmed to be called the Samsung Galaxy F, F most likely representing Foldable. This device was shown with the majority of its body covered by a protective, blocky case at this past week's Samsung Developer Conference – so we know it exists. Besides that, Samsung itself basically revealed nothing – from a certain point of view.

According to the report this morning from Yonhap News Agency in South Korea, the device's rumored name Galaxy F will indeed be the name with which the company is running.

That'd sit it neatly in right after reveal and release of the Samsung Galaxy S10 – all three versions of the phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 will almost certainly be revealed at an event on February 24th, 2019. That's the day before the start of Mobile World Congress 2019, and the date Samsung usually picks for the release of their yearly headline smartphone. That's how it's been for the past several years, at least.

Information provided by Yonhap says the Galaxy F will cost "around" 2 million won. When converted to USD directly by the most recent conversion rate as noted by Google, this comes to right around $1,758.78 USD. That'll be right on over the top of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (or Max), the biggest version of the Galaxy S10 in 2019.

Samsung Electronics President Koh Dong-jin suggested last week that the company's foldable smartphone would release in the first half of 2019 – which matches with what we've heard this week. Koh also suggested that shipment volume for Samsung's foldable phone would be "at least 1 million."

We've got a whole bunch of information on the Galaxy F and the entire foldable smartphone wave, coming in quick. Have a peek at the timeline below as well as the multi-display presentation made by Google at the Android Dev Summit 2019. It's the UI for this next generation!
